Complaints or comments
relating to competition policies
The Hong Kong
Government, in its May 1998 Statement on Competition Policy called
on business to cease existing, and refrain from introducing,
restrictive practices that impair economic efficiency or free
trade. Examples were given in the Statement of some practices that
might warrant more thorough examination, such as price-fixing,
bid-rigging, market allocation, sales and production quotas, joint
boycotts, unfair or discriminatory standards, predatory behavior in
selling below cost, tie-in sales and setting retail price
minimums. It also set up a body known as the
"Competition Policy
Advisory" (COMPAG) to review policy issues related to
competition. A copy of the Government's Statement and a report
issued by COMPAG can be found at
